Nevele Falls/Ellenville, NY
(approximate 50' drop at the main falls in background)
temporary installation
this art piece is about 8' x 20' as an entire spread laid flat and is an assemblage of 123 paintings ("labels") done over the past year with beeswax and natural pigments on recycled labeled cardboard box flaps of various dimensions. They are tied together with hemp twine allowing an overall flexibility for/with installations at different waterfall sites along the Eastern slopes of the Shawangunk and Catskill Mountains West of the Hudson River in New York State. I'm researching about 70 waterfalls in these conjoining South/North mountains. I won't be doing installations at that many by far, 6 - 8 perhaps. I’ll photo and video document this process/ional. with using biodegradable materials the installation work will culminate at the bottom of the last installation and/or be recycled and/or shown and offered as individual labels w/hemp as separate art works, photos/videos and possible book format when funding becomes available…
~this is a collaborative with Nature~


Water falls are an oxygenating and cleansing geographical phenomena with 

Light/Air(Ether), Fire, Color,  Earth, Water and Sound healing properties acknowledged 

with its' placement in varying spaces defined by the waterfalls...

this is the link to the first installation at High Falls in High Falls, NY.
